Rick Hopper 2238

Here it is. The beginning of Rick Hopper 2238! I actually scanned this strip in awhile ago. This past month, I started on the rest. I realized while tweaking the other comic strips that they were in even better starting condition. This particular one will always have special meaning to me. It was the first time anything I did got published. It appeared in my college newspaper. Look forward to the new serial comic strip of Rick Hopper on Mondays and Thursdays.

I plan on doing more One Zany World and the occasional Fuzzy Fellows after this run of comic strips are complete. This will give me a chance to take a small break (since things will be a little bit crazy this month) and then build up a buffer again.

Looks like Rick missed reading one of the signs. Pretty convenient they were in English for him. Let’s assume that Rick has some kind of translation device or he knows the language. It is the far future, so anything is possible.

I am sure you have noticed by now. The captions in this comic strip are being told from the point of view of Rick Hopper. You get to see how he is thinking throughout this story. And in some cases, like here, Rick should be listening to himself.

It took until the eight comic strip, but Rick Hopper finally broke out his sword while yelling “Charge” going into a battle. He has done that quite a few times in the past. Yea!! Zany Comics is now one year old!

You can almost figure it out what the sign behind the one of the Robo Guards says. It is never seen quite clearly. It reads “ABSOLUTELY NO ADMITTANCE WITHOUT A PASS”. I don’t think our hero has one of those.

I loved the panel where Rick looks from the cliff over at to the city. I drew a larger more detailed version of it for the Rick Hopper comic strip cover. You can see it HERE.
